Peel the yuca and remove any bad parts, leaving the best pieces.

Grate the yuca to remove excess starch and moisture using a towel.

Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the grated yuca.

Add 1 egg to the mixture, using one or two depending on the moisture of the yuca.

Incorporate 1 tablespoon of anise seeds into the mixture.

Add 1 teaspoon of sugar for contrast, adjusting to taste with salt.

Mix all ingredients thoroughly until well combined.

Shape the mixture into a rectangular form using hands or a mold.

Wrap the shaped yuca in aluminum foil like a gift.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Place the wrapped yuca in the oven and bake for 30 to 40 minutes.

Check the yuca after 30 minutes, and if needed, bake for an additional 15 minutes for a better color.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
